Mad Max meets Auto duel. The emphasis seems more on the vehicles than the players; but the player mechanics are good enough to "drive" it. This could be a valuable tool for parts of other games "after the bomb" that neglect t [...]

First off, this RPG is amazing as long as you and your players are trying to have fun. It's rules are simple and the gameplay isn't really bogged down by a million rules that everyone is trying to remember. The game engine also leaves everything up to [...]

I love this game I can not remember where I got my book copy from but had it a while. A friend borrowed it and well he really like it too. Needless to say I don't have my book. He's a good friend so I don't mind he still has it. Any ways I saw that I [...]

Love this! I have been telling my kids and their friends about Car Wars, but I can't find my old books. This has them (and me) entertained just as much as I remember from olden times. I would recommend this game to anyone who was looking for a new RPG [...]

Possibly the best money I never spent. A good solid simple system with great adaptability. Combat is a bit lethal, but easily tweaked for those who prefer more forgiving combat rules. . Recommend it to any gamer who wants a fun game that can be set [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
